hopoe it works

I'm not quite sure you are supposed to do that because:

1. I installed the 5.0.3 patch WITH data updates.
2. Used the mini-image. Everything worked nice.
3. 5.0.5 came out without data and with data updates HOWEVER to users who have 5.0.3 with data update you are only required to download the 5.0.5 fm2005.exe which is offered over at the sigames forums by the SIGames staff.
4. Mini-image works with the fm2005.exe 5.0.5


So that means that the 4 changes that are in 5.0.5 compared to 5.0.3 are within the executable. Which means using the 5.0.2 no-cd crack will mean you are missing out on some fixes.

to be honest i am only doing it just now until my wee brother gets our (original) cd off his bloody mate that he gave it too who has it with him in bloody america using it on his lap top whilst he is working. the mini image doesnt work for me because i am not prepared to uninstall clone cd etc. when i get my cd back i am planning on uninstalling the game, reinstalling and only updating to the 5.0.2 patch and leaving it at that cos i didnt have any grumbles with the game with that patch. if another noCD crack appears then i will update. if not then im not overly bothered...
